Terradepth builds their own submarines. Their focus right now is on a long, multi-day vehicle that's 30 feet long and can go out for 30 days in pairs, with one vehicle on the surface while the other explores the ocean.

There are many things that Terradepth does to do this, including creating a data solution platform to organize ocean data, launching robot submarines, and research and development making it easier, cheaper and safer to collect ocean data.

"We’ve launched a lot of technology into space, which is great, we’re all about space exploration, exploration in general here, we just didn’t see a lot of effort being put into the ocean, in a lot of ways because I think people assume we already knew about [the ocean]," Wolfel said. Right now much of ocean exploration requires a big ship with a lot of people on it, supervising the research. Terradepth is trying to minimize the need for ships that emit large amounts of carbon and put humans at risk in this process.
